Scope mounts for Huntsman Revere?

[Slingworks]

Soon I'll be receiving a Daystate Revere.

I'd like to scope it as low as possible, given the height of the magazine. I'd like to use a 32mm objective glass.

The base is 11mm. I'm curious of anyone knows the minimum scope ring height that clears the magazine? If I were to order Sportsmatch 2pc rings, would I be able to get by with the medium height?

Has anyone used the low profile magazines? What's the take on those?

I just measured my Huntsman Regal - Revere is identical.

My UTG High rings are .81” from the top of the dovetail rail to the very bottom of the ring (scope tube). This provides exactly .15” clearance from top of Daystate factory magazine to bottom of scope tube. So, in theory, you could use a ring with a height of .67” above the dovetail rail and retain .01” of clearance.

Remember this .15” clearance is to bottom of scope tube. If you mount your scope so that the section with the turrets is over the magazine, and this section protudes lower than the scope tube (as most do), then you will have less clearance.

This guy sells precision dovetail rings (on eBay) - for both 1” and 30mm scopes. He offers heights in .2” graduations:

Scope Rings - 11mm and 3/8" Dovetail fit Anschutz , CZ 452 455 457, 1" & 30mm | eBay

Ideal for Anschutz, CZ, and Styer Zephyr Rifles. I installed them on my anschutz 1813 (54 action). 11mm dovetail rings are Precisely machined (see note below) to fit 11mm dovetail rifles. 3/8" dovetail rings are precisely machined to fit 3/8" (see note below) dovetail rifles.

He measures his ring heights from the bottom of his ring mount - not from the dovetail. The height of the dovetail rail itself is .11”

Using these measurements, his .9” height rings would be the lowest you could use from him: .9” - .11” = .79”

If he offered .8” height, that would be close to perfect for maximum “low” - as that would be .69” - lol.

I hope this helps.

Congratulations, you bought one heckuva rifle!

Have one of the CARM low profile magazines, & like everything I've bought from Darko, it works a treat. Can't confirm the clearance with mediums, but there's plenty of clearance with Sportsmatch high rings. Thinking 3/16 to 1/4" inch... can measure when I get home tonight if you'd like.

I have SportsMatch medium - (single screw top strap) on my Revere with Nikon 3-9 EFR mounted.... Now, "my eye relief" allows for mag clearance under scope tube, BUT scope turret area is very close - rearward without touching mag.
Your eye relief mounting and scope brand may not provide same outcome. Good Luck.

Yup sportsmatch mediums will even clear the Carm high capacity mags with just about the minimal amount of clearence you need. Perfect on my revere.

I agree that the Sportsmatch mediums would fit. I was using high (Sportsmatch HT071 2-Pc Extra High 30mm Scope Mounts), as that is what AOA told me for the Revere. However, there was plenty of allowance, and I had wished I got the mediums.

BTW, enjoy the Revere I sold you. It's a beauty!!

I probably should have just asked the original owner....lol

Take a read of my post in this thread about the BKL low mounts on my Daystate Air Wolf. I prefer the BKL's because they are lightweight, self-centering and use only one screw to tighten to the dovetail rail. I use the older Daystate mags so not sure if your Huntsman uses the new ones, which may be a bit higher. The older version mags are 30mm in height. Carm has .177 and .22 low profile mags as well . . . https://www.carm-magazines.com/carm-low-profile-magazine-for-daystate-air-rifles.aspx

Low profile magazine for Daystate air rifles , (29.5mm in height total in .177 cal and 30mm in height in .22 cal)
Designed for users who prefer low scope mounts, optimised for use with pellets.
Fits all Daystate rifles (except Delta and Alpha Wolf).

This is what I wanted in a scope

Light weight , Fast sighting, Wanted more power but 12 is doing OK, FFP I really like the FFP scopes . So I got a Athlon Helos Gen 2 BTR 2x12-42 FFP scope, I got it mounted on my Huben 22 and I have made some pretty fast shots with it my longest was at 60 yards on a sparrow sitting on a power...
